Butterfly Boosts
A tiny card. A kind message. A ripple of hope
Butterfly Boosts are small affirmation and wellness cards created by Reinventing Ourselves and the Arkansas Wellness Network to brighten someone’s day.
They are simple slips of sturdy paper with an encouraging affirmation on one side and a small wellness tip on the other. Think of them like the ducks people leave on Jeeps—but instead of a toy duck, it’s a little boost of kindness, encouragement, and hope.
What Is a Butterfly Boost?
A Butterfly Boost is a small card you can leave for someone to discover.
You might place one:
- On a coworker’s desk
- In a friend’s mailbox
- With a tip for a waitress or server
- On a neighbor’s porch
- Inside a greeting card
- On a community bulletin board
- With a small gift or care package
- On a car windshield where allowed and safe
Each card is designed to say, “You matter. Keep going. Take care of yourself.”
Why Butterflies?
The butterfly is a symbol of growth, transformation, and new beginnings.
At Reinventing Ourselves, we believe change often begins with one small moment of encouragement. A kind word can remind someone they are not alone. A simple wellness tip can inspire someone to pause, breathe, drink water, take a walk, or reset their day.
Butterfly Boosts are a small way to spread health, happiness, and hope—one person at a time.
How to Use Butterfly Boosts
1. Pick a card
Choose a Butterfly Boost that feels right for someone who may need encouragement.

You can write a short message on the back, such as:

Important Reminders
Butterfly Boosts are meant to encourage—not advertise aggressively or inconvenience anyone.
Please:
- Do not block someone’s view while driving
- Do not place cards where they could become litter
- Do not leave them in unsafe or restricted areas
- Do not place them on private property where it may be unwelcome
- Always be respectful of people, businesses, and public spaces
Kindness should feel like a gift, not a burden.
